(Https://vk.com/chelradiotv) UKRAINE ======== Radio network Lyubimoe Radio (Radio Favorite), which broadcasts in 17 cities of Ukraine, is reformatted and changes its name to Power FM. The corresponding changes were approved on May 12 by the National Council of Ukraine on Television and Radio Broadcasting. The National Council reissued the licenses of two of the three companies united in the network Lyubimoe Radio PE "Company" New Wave "and PE" TRK "Center". A statement of Radio Sharmanka, which is also part of the network, moved to the next meeting due to the fact that the apparatus of the National Council did not manage to prepare draft decisions. The radio network changes not only the name "Favorite radio" on Power FM, but also the software concept: the volume of information-analytical and journalistic programs will decrease from 45 minutes to 30 minutes per day, the selection of music - from 7:00 to 5:00 per day, And the volume of entertainment and music programs increased from 10:00 to 13 hours 15 minutes per day. In addition, the radio network is reoriented from Russian-language and Ukrainian-language music to European: more than 60% of the songs on its air will compose songs in the languages of the European Union - it means that it will have a lower quota for songs in Ukrainian (25% instead of 35% for two years). The radio station Power FM already worked in Ukraine from 2002 to 2004. In 2004, it was reformatted on Radio Sharmanka, which developed into a nationwide radio network. In 2014, "Sharmanka" was reformatted to "Favorite Radio." Now the radio station returns to its first name. Lyubimoe Radio (and now Power FM) is a part of Radio Business Holding Radio Group (other assets are "Chanson", DJ FM, "Business Radio"). The ultimate beneficiaries of the radio network are the head of the Business Radio Group, Antony Evtukhov (indirectly controls 50% of Radio Sharmanka Ltd, owns 100% of TRK Center LLC and 10% of Novaya Volna LLC), his wife Larisa Yevtukhova (indirectly Controls 25% of Radio Sharmanka Ltd, owns 90% of Novaya Volna Company LLC) and father of People's Deputy Vitaly Khomutynnik Yuri Khomutynnik (indirectly controls 25% of Radio Sharmanka LLC) (Source: Portal "Media detector").

S. The decision to work with a power of 75 kW was apparently made on the basis of Monitoring data in Moscow, Minsk and Kiev. In the Moscow region, the signal reaches S=9 +30 ... +40dB. (Rimantas Pleikys-LTU, via Anatoly Klepov-RUS, RUSdx #922 via wwdxc BC-DX TopNews April 30) Do not speculate on the coffee grounds. Transmitters within Lithuania were not tolerated anywhere: - Virshulishkes - Tesla SRV, 50 + 25 kW (612 kHz, previously and 1107, 1557 kHz) - dismantled; - Sitkunai - Vortex, 500 kW (666, 1386 kHz) dismantled, Storm-C, 75 + 75kW (1386 kHz, previously 612, 1557, 1107 kHz) - will be dismantled; Shortwave Continental Electronics 418F, 100 kW - will be sold or disassembled; 7 masts and 6 towers - will be dismantled. - The medium-wave transmitter Nautel NX-200 in Veshintos at 1386 kHz on RFE / RL order works with a reduced power of 75 kW, mast 120 m, previously operated at 873 kHz, 150 kW, Weisskirchen, American Forces Network. + I agree, the picture is sad. And we offered 600 kW through a two-mast directional antenna.

The Forum is organized by the Radio Broadcasting Development Foundation "Academy of Radio" with the support of the Federal Agency for Press and Mass Communications and with the assistance of the Information and Press Department of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The general information partner of the event is MTRK Mir. Russian-language broadcasters from Russia, as well as from Belarus, Armenia, Moldova and other CIS countries, as well as from Germany, Spain, France, Great Britain and other Western European countries are invited to participate in the Forum. The honorary guests and participants of the meeting will also be high-ranking representatives of specialized Russian state and public structures. In the context of the increasing role of information, its influence on public opinion and political decision-making, Russian-speaking broadcasters play an increasingly important role in creating an objective image of Russia abroad. It is they who become the guides not only of alternative, "first-hand" information about events in Russia, but also contribute to the promotion of Russian culture and the Russian language in countries where the Russian community is great and where historical ties with our country are strong. The International Forum is intended to become a unifying platform for broadcasters, a place for the exchange of experience and opinions between professionals. This year, the focus of delegates will be a wide range of issues related to new trends in the development of television and radio broadcasting. In particular, the transition to digital broadcasting, which changes the format and level of radio consumption in the world, new forms of broadcasting and interactive interaction with listeners, support for broadcasters from various foundations and other public organizations. Forum participants will also consider how the Russian language and Russian-language broadcasting contribute to the integration of the Russian-speaking population in the CIS countries and the promotion of an objective image of Russia. Representatives of the radio of classical music will talk about their broadcasting abroad, about how music becomes a conductor of culture and values. Special attention should be paid to the theme of anti-Russian sentiments, in particular, in Europe, and the difficult choice for Russian-speaking broadcasters. Within the framework of the Forum, there will also be a discussion on the reliability of information and its most reliable sources. Foreign Russian-speaking broadcasters will be given the opportunity to make presentations of their companies.

PROBLEM. MAIL OF RUSSIA AND WRITTEN CORRESPONDENCE. According to many DX-listeners, in Russia the delivery of letters and QSL-cards from foreign radio stations has sharply decreased this year. In addition, it is impossible to make a claim. Mail in Russia is not responsible for simple correspondence. Only registered letters can be tracked. Now every letter or QSL card is a holiday. If this trend continues, then the number of radio amateurs in Russia, which, listen to foreign stations will be reduced. But, as they say, hope dies last (Anatoly Klepov, Moscow, Russia, Rus-DX 7 May via DXLD) Letters, parcels and postcards from abroad will first be sent to Yakutia. As it became known to Kommersant, FSUE Russian Post from January 1, 2017 takes extraordinary measures to regulate the flow of simple small packages - these are often used to deliver purchases from foreign online stores ... The Post of Russia informed postal administrations of the member countries of the Universal Postal Union that from January 1, 2017 incoming written correspondence should be delivered to the International Postal Exchange (MMPO) in Mirny. This is due to the "optimization of the logistics network," said in a letter dated December 5 from Deputy Director General of FSUE Russian Post Sergey Malyshev (a copy is from Kommersant). Under the definition of incoming mail correspondence, which is mentioned in the letter, all letters and postcards from abroad, as well as customized and simple small packages weighing up to 2 kg, were explained to "Kommersant" by an interlocutor familiar with the situation. According to the press service of the Russian Post, "MMPO in Mirny serves as an alternative entry point for unregistered mail from foreign postal administrations that do not wish to act in accordance with the procedures approved by the Post of Russia." The innovations will not affect EMS express parcels, parcel post, and delivery between the countries of the Eurasian Economic Community, specified in FSUE ... This, in particular, will allow "to deal with opaque mail flows coming to Russia from Southeast Asia not directly, But through a number of countries in Europe and the CIS "... What are the tariffs for unregistered small packages after processing in Mirny, on the "Post of Russia" they do not say: it will be discussed with foreign postal administrations ... The postal administration of the sender has a duty to deliver to MMPO, after that, Russian Post's planes will export international mail from Mirny, the source of Kommersant, who is familiar with the activities of Post of Russia, supposes. Hypothetically, postal companies can work through Mirny, but in fact it is a prohibitive action aimed at limiting parcelling traffic from China, he believes. "This is an attempt to raise prices for international incoming correspondence with investments," the source of Kommersant believes ... http://avmalgin.livejournal.com/6658650.html + Photo.
